Sitting on the couch with a binder in his lap Dare tapped a pen on a peice of paper. He hadn't talked to Orion in quite some time and it seemed strange to be contacting him atlast about this, still atleast it would break the ice.

Dear Orion

Long time no talk bluey, I've missed you. A lot's been going on as I'm sure you know trinket and I finally got married. It seems likeit wasn't that long ago when we were all just kids who used to hang out at the park. Now we're grown up with kids of our own that we can take to our favorite childhood places.

Yeah that's right Trinket and I have adopted a little girl, she's something special let me tell you. We'll she's not adopted so much as sponsered from these rather odd labs but the point is that she's ours. Brianna's her name and she's a right bundle of feathers and energy. She never slows down, I wonder was I that energetic as a child?


I hope this letter and photos ( Oh come on I'm a new parent you knew there'd be photo's) finds you well.


Sincerely
Alisdare

One day at Breakfest

" Daddy why are cheerios cheery? Brianna asked before lifting a spoonfull of said cereal into her mouth. She'd been eating cheerios for breakfest each day since she came home and the question had slowly become important to her, why was her cereal happy, was it alive like gingerbread people?

Dare who'd been drinking coffee at the time choked and hot coffee went up his nose. When he'd composed himself again he smiled his daughter " Cheerios aren't cheery they make people cheery becuase they taste good. Much like happy meals make kids happy."

Brianna looked thoughtful as she continued to eat before suddenly asking." Can I get cheerieos with extra cheer?"

Dear Diary:

I am never going to forgive Tybalt for giving Brianna markers to draw on her walls with. The fact that they wash away is not the point, everytime I walk into her rooms there's a riot of colours forming pictures and symbols only half of which are recognisable. Trinket think's it's cute and keeps her occupied indoors, little does he realise that eventually she will grow tired of just decorating her room and I'll be chasing her around the house with a cloth and bucket.

Dear diary

Costume shoppign for a child with wings is not easy. Or perhaps it's just costume shopping for Brianna isn't easy. One way or another it's been three days and the girl still hasn't been able to decide what she wants to be. If she's this indecsive over a costume I better have her start making her christmas list early.

Alisdare.

Letter to Alpha

Quote:
To: labtech Alpha
Regarding: Brianna

I Alisdare sombre Carandente am writing to you as the guardian of Brianna a young girl who was brought into my care from your labs. This is an update on her including behaviours, habbits and quirks. I have tried to make the report as unbiased as I possibly can.

First off I’d like to note that Brianna has excellent hand eye co ordination and very good aim. Not that she tends to throw things a lot but when she does she usually hits her target which seems unusually for a child her age. I’m assuming this is due to her DNA being that of a predatory bird. her good eyesight however is hindered by darkness and she can’t really stand watching t.v from the floor like most children she has to sit back on the couch ( which I personally think is a great thing).

Brianna appears to be of average intelligence for her age though she does catch onto concepts rather quickly when she’s willing to sit down long enough to learn something. I am hoping that her impatience and abundance of energy fades with time lest she get labbeled as ADD or ADHD as she really doesn’t like being inactive for more the a few moments and can’t even sit still at the table to eat.

She has yet to attempt to fly which is a rather fortunate thing and I’m hoping that she won’t attempt that anything soon. She has however shown an interest in flying and enjoys watching birds outside and making paper airplanes.. I was wondering if there were any excerises and such she needed to do to prepare her body for the strain of flight when she is capable of it.


Social wise she’s doing pretty well and she enjoys meeting and talking with others quite a bit. she likes spending time with just me and my husband though and she’s yet to star playing favourites. I’m the one who reads her bedtime stories and that she drags to stores and he the one who teaches her to dance and lets her paint on him. All in all i think she’s pretty well adjusted in that area.

She’s developed a sort of set personality that’s independent and free making her a bit of a stubborn cuss but I see the good in it. She’s got her own way of looking at and doing things as well as her own sense of style ( which Trinket says is sadly better than mine).I’m thinking that in a week or so I’m going to take her out and let her pick out things so she can design her own room. ( without washable markers which are the bane of my existence) Despite being avian in blood at least in part she doesn’t seen to have any nesting desires minus maybe that of a magpie to collect everything she sees.

Food wise she’s not a picky eater though she will eat gingerbread and nothing else if given the chance. Again she normally eats what’s in front of her but only in small quantities I am not sure if this is due to her age or because she eating like well a bird. She seems fairly healthy so far, I would like to know however if there are special things I should be adding to her diet or things I ought to be keeping out of it.

Though she is often focused on her own view of the world Brianna is aware of most things going on around her and has such noticed this letter I’m writing to you. She shows curiosity and interest in what the letter is and why I am writing it. I cannot fully explain everything to her yet she’s too young to understand such things but soon enough I shall tell her of her coming into this world ( I’m assuming you would like to be present at this time or shortly thereafter so I shall alert you as to when I tell her.

Anyways Brianna would like me to pass along this message to you:
Hi I’m Brianna and I can’t write yet but I wanted to say hi. I’m a girl but I don’t wear girly stuff like dresses because you can’t really play in them. I like fruits and vegetables and gingerbread but not asparagus.

As you can see she speaks in complete sentences to a degree though her thought are often disjointed. I’m hoping this will improve with time.

That is all.

Sincerely
Alisdare sombre Carandente

Dear diary:

The past little been hell and I haven't had a moments peace to update. I don't really have a lot of spare time now but I do need to jot things down to preserve in something more solid then my memory.

Brianna has gone to her first funeral, Nephrenia trinket's mother and my step mother was killed only a few weeks before Christmas. I felt it only right to take Brianna to the funeral as Neph was her grandmother. She cried, confused as to why people went away and once that was explained she was angry that someone took her grandma away before she could say goodbye.

She took it fairly well but still she gets quiet sometimes when looking at her picture and I can see it still affects her in some ways. I can only hope that she need not face more death in the near future.

There is more but my hands ache and I'm not going to push myself. Perhaps I will get around to speaking of it later.

Alisdare

Yo-yo's hated Brianna and she hated them right back, they tangled her all op and he hit them off the ground chipping paint, they knotted spontaneously and she tossed them on shelves to show her displeasure. It was a long standing feud that no one was winning.

Dare leaned in his daughter's doorway and watched as Brianna slowly untangled string from her hair and wings. It had never occurred to him that a girl who showed rather nice eye hand co ordination might have such a hard time with a yo-yo. Apparently he hadn't taken into account the fact that Brianna's eyes tended to followed the toy and thus mess up exactly how her hands should react.

" Sweetie why don't you put that down for now and we'll go to the bakery and get some gingerbread and cresent rolls" Dare hated to see Brianna frustrated and he knew that if she kept fighting the yo-yo that today at least she'd end up in tears or a fit of rage neither of which was good. " Oh and Uncle Tybalt is coming over this weekened to show you some yo-yo tricks" hopefully his brother could find a way to help Brianna handle the basics as well.

Brianna's blue eyes lit up and the second she was free of the string she hopped to her feet and nodded " I want one of those cool gingerbread fish they have with the icing scales." Struggle forgotten Brianna's mind was now focused solely in the sweet treat to come.

Written in a child's small messy writing was a small passage in a diary.

Hi

It's almost Halloween again and I'm bigger this year. I'm going to have a glow in the dark bag and be a vampire angel even though they aren't real. I can't eat the candy untill I get home and dad can check it though.

December 13th 2007

"There's a spaceship on the roof of the building, something inside is making noise, the door seems stuck , do we have any chisels or crowbars." Trinket said standing in the doorway looking tired.

Alisdare wasn't sure what amused him more, his husband's first statement or the fact that Trinket actually thought there may be either of those items in their apartment. "What sort of spaceship? The ones kids keep playing with since Halloween a while back? I thought they weren’t supposed to run anymore, for that matter I didn’t know they flew that high.”


Eyeing his violet skinned partner Dare wondered if perhaps this was some sort of prank or ruse to get him to go onto the roof with them. Between Trinket’s working and raising Brianna the two hadn’t had much alone time together in a while and that was probably bothering him.

Trinket rolled his eyes and frowned " I don't know it's just, ******** it fell from the sky ok and there's something stuck inside and it doesn't sound happy to be there."

It was obvious now that this wasn't a joke or a ruse but Dare still wasn't sure what to do. They didn't have anything like that in the house,maybe if the two of them kicked it or something the door would pop open.

" I wanna see an alien" A small multicoloured blur named Brianna zoomed from the living room into the kitchen then out the door before Dare or Trinket could stop her.

Since neither man trusted the avian DNA'd pokegirl up on the roof the pair raced after her hoping to prevent a disaster. Fortunately they found her poking about the spaceship that had crashed upon the roof.

Dare thought it was odd looking oblong mostly expect for where it had crumpled upon impact. It was decorated with strange symbols in many different colours, Dare figured it was a message or maybe a warning, who knew that was inside. Someone had to find though as even he could hear wailing echoing outwards towards them.

A concerned look on his face Dare approached the broken hatch as Trinket dragged Brianna back. The bronze skinned man examined the hatch closely, there didn't appear to be any way to open it and it didn't seem that whatever was inside could do anything either.

It's wails became soft pleading keens and Dare swore. He hopped he wasn't about to unleash a monster by trying to open this thing. How could he deny it's cries though. His orange eyes spotted what in a hurry trinkets had not. Bending down he picked up a pirce of scrap metal that had come of the ship. Wedging it into the seam of the hatch Dare pulled down with his weight and tried to pop the stupid thing open.

There was nothing.. nothing .. nothing and this a hiss of compressed air and sort of popping sound before Dare fell backwards and knocked himself out.

When he came too he as back in the house Trinket was nervously was holding a very strange looking baby while Brianna looked on and babbled excitedly. Dare wasn't certain f it was the nausea from the unconsciousness or the sudden fear from the situation he found him in that made him throw up, either way it didn't really help.

December 20th 2007


So Trinket and I have adopted another child. Well not formally but after it literally crash landed onto the roof of our apartment what else could we do? Jamie as we've taken to calling it, the kid has no genitalia it's sorta odd but apparently they don't seem to need it. Jamie is a cute little bundle of joy even if they are far odder than our other child Brianna. For one Jamie doesn't eat properly, as far was we can tell they just seem to absorb sunlight and drink water and then bam they have food, anything else we give our little baby and they throw up and get pale looking.. except for plant food which trinket had the ever so bright idea of giving very diluted to them.

I swear I could have killed the man if I didn't love him so much. Flower hair and toe roots aside you just don;t assume the kid is mostly plant and give them plant food. At it least Jamie doesn't seem adversely affected by it as of yet. Still we're taking them to see a doctor soon.

All in all aside from their odd , but who am I to talk, appearance Jamie is a normal baby, drinking, sleeping and crying most of the day. They haven't shown an interest in much of anything as of yet.

Brianna adores her sibling and likes to do yo-yo tricks to try and impress Jamie as well as hold the bottle for them when they drink. It's sort of cute and I'm glad that despite big age differences all goes well between them for now.

Not much else to say yet.

Alisdare.

Note: Must remember to visit mom soon and let her spoil Jamie a bit.
